Information

A peculiar young girl, Rquo (pronounced "Ruco") ran away from home and has fended for herself since then, with only the help of her small and eternally loyal pet, Kumikumi. The manual claims she had a "complicated" family life, though she never mentions her past at all in her dialogue, and no concrete reason is given regarding why she ran away from home.

Rquo's ambition in life is to conquer the world! All the citizens of the Gemstone Kingdom will kneel before her, or face her wrath! Mind you, how she aims to realistically achieve this goal is uncertain; outside of being condescending to everyone she meets, she seems to rely entirely on the Gemstones to do all the dirty work for her. However, she's doomed to failure in all of her endings, as her wish is always ignored in favour of something totally irrelevant, like putting her in silly costumes.

Although the youngest of the cast at a mere seven years old, Rquo gets uppity when people refer to her as a child, and she prefers to be referred to as a "lady". Likewise, she doesn't take remarks about her height in stride either, though she doesn't try to counteract this by forcing people to make "how's the weather up there?" jokes.

Rquo has no connections with any of the other characters; mostly because she's so keen to rule over everyone with an iron fist, and also because she already has the only ally she needs - Kumikumi. A small, yellow, nondescript circular creature with large ears and a gemstone on its forehead. It speaks in an indecipheral language of "w", "v" and "z" sounds, though it does have a few brief moments of clarity - mostly when it mentions "wemz". It's unknown if Rquo can actually understand Kumikumi, but the two are inseperable, and the little creature does everything in its power to assist its master in acquiring the Gemstones.

Rquo's distinct location is a train station. Where in the Gemstone Kingdom it's located is totally unspecified.

Rquo's name is phonetically spelt "Ruko" in Japanese. I'm just clarifying this in case anyone wonders how the hell a nonsense name like "Rquo" is even meant to be pronounced.

Kumikumi is a secret character in the Game Boy version. For information on how to unlock it, see the appropriate page.
